Devdas

by Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay

Women are accused of being fickle, of being shallow. It’s a reputation they don’t deserve. Men give us this reputation.

Men can speak freely. We cannot. We cannot say openly what is in our hearts. We are gagged and cannot defend ourselves.”

“Your beauty goes beyond the eye – it reaches the soul like an ember, and then? It burns like a pyre.”
